    Who are the top 3 high flyin, energetic guys on the team?
    I see it this way...
    1.Francis(obviously the highest jumper in the nba, and really quick,and strong for a pg)
    2.Posey(Brings energy to the team, high fying also, good in fast breaks)
    3.Mobley(Quick wing player who also has high flyin ability)

    Heck no!!!!!! Vince and Kobe sure jump high, but they are more known for the moves they do in the air, like 360s and through the legs, and that stuff. Reason Francis doesnt do that is because he is 6' 3''. Last time i checked his vertical leap was like 44''.

    hell no, kobe's vertical leap is only 38inch.
    VC is higher, somewhere around 43. francis's vert was 43 in his rookie year, but somehow increased to 45 after 2nd year(he said that in some interview)

    francis, in his 2nd year, said in an interview that he had a 45 inch vert. i read on another article that his standing reach is 8'5 and is vertical highest touch is 12'3", which would mean his verticals now 46 inches. i heard kobe's vert is 38 inches and vince's is 41-42 inches.
